I agree that ancestry.com has misleading ads... It is not FREE! I did it once, and barely remembered to cancel... I won't do that again! Nor did I find what I was looking for. Mary

I have got to say that although they are expensive, the online census records for 1900, particulary, from Genealogy.com have been worth their weight in gold for me. I am able to easily advance my knowledge of families living in the Brookfield- Wauwatosa-New Berlin area -- parents of children who were signing my grandmother's autograph book about that time, for example -- and to fill out page after page of family group sheets for other church members, for in-laws, and for distant relatives. I do not have the time to spend on these things away from home. At the same time, the census images from Ancestry have been incredibly helpful to me. I have found many family members and associated persons from each of the censuses. I wish that I had the gall to ask other family members who are benefitting from this work to subsidize my fees -- but that just is not the way it works, is it? Penny "Mary E.
